CO2 Footprint

a.s.r.’s direct footprint consists of waste, fuel, heat, lectricity, cooling, commuter travel and business travel. In 2016, a.s.r. sought to reduce its direct footprint by 2%. The relocation of Europeesche Verzekeringen (see Housing) resulted in an increase in headcount of 528 FTEs in Utrecht, and as a result the absolute carbon footprint of the a.s.r. head office increased by 6% in 2016. The remaining emissions reduction will be achieved via ‘Trees for all’ credits in 2017.
